On the interplay between activity, elasticity and liquid transport in self-contractile biopolymer gels
Anne Bernheim-Groswasser, Gefen Livne, Paola Nardinocchi +2
Active gels play an important role in biology and in inspiring biomimetic active materials, due to their ability to change shape, size and create their own morphology; the relevant…
Defect-driven shape transitions in elastic active nematic shells
D. J. G. Pearce, S. Gat, G. Livne +2
Active matter is characterized by its ability to induce motion by self-generated stress. In the case of a solid, such motion can lead to shape transformations. The stress-generatin…
Kinetics of actin networks formation measured by time resolved particle-tracking microrheology
Maayan Levin, Raya Sorkin, David Pine +3
Actin is one of the most studied cytoskeleton proteins showing a very rich span of structures. It can self-assemble actively into dynamical structures that govern the mechanical pr…
Dynamics in Steady State In Vitro Acto-Myosin Networks
Adar Sonn-Segev, Anne Bernheim-Groswasser, Yael Roichman
It is well known that many biochemical processes in the cell such as gene regulation, growth signals and activation of ion channels, rely on mechanical stimuli. However, the mechan…
Scale dependence of mechanics and dynamics of active gels with increasing motor concentration
Adar Sonn-Segev, Anne Bernheim-Groswasser, Yael Roichman
The cytoskeleton protein actin assembles into large bundles when supporting stresses in the cell, but grows into a fine branched network to induce cell motion. Such self-organizati…
Extracting the dynamic correlation length of actin networks from microrheology experiments
Adar Sonn-Segev, Anne Bernheim-Groswasser, Yael Roichman
The mechanical properties of polymer gels based on cytoskeleton proteins (e.g. actin) have been studied extensively due to their significant role in biological cell motility and in…
